Just for your information: The second root name server in Europe was set up at the LINX in London in March. This was implemented as two servers. The "." server, k.root-servers.net, has been operational since then. The gTLD server, carrying .com, .net, and .org, received a single zone transfer from the Internic on 26 March. Since then zone transfers have been blocked. Various European Internet organisations (LINX, the London Internet exchange; RIPE, responsible for allocating address space; and ISPA, the UK Internet Services Providers Association) have asked for an explanation or clarification of InterNIC policy but have received none. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015
